I recently reviewed the movies "Hakkoudasan" and "Nihyaku san Kochi" and marveled at what a great movie they are.

The power of the analog live action, as well as the blood-curdling performances of the exhausted actors and extras, probably under the poor conditions of the location, are honestly 'scary'.

I wonder if the reason why movies these days are not as interesting as they used to be is because of the digitalization of images.

-- is one hypothesis.

However, I have another hypothesis.

It is, 'I am simply brainwashed by the images I am familiar with from my youth.

There was a celebrity who said, "007 other than Shon Connery is scum," but I think "Roger Moore's 007" is more interesting.

Also, when I went back home, my father tried to show me halid films from the 1950s and 1960s, but I never found them interesting.

"The memories (of films) imprinted on a person, especially during his or her impressionable years, become the standard of value thereafter", in other words, "slip-in".

It is common for people to say, "What I consider to be the best thing for me is out of the question for others".

I don't know if my grandchildren will exist 20 years from now -- but I get nervous thinking about what they will think of "Steins;Gate" when I show it to them.

If my grandson says 'that's great' I will probably give him a lot of New Year's money.
